Message | The reason I didn't have the government pay for all drugs was so the Liberals would be appeased, and more importantly, because we shouldn't depend on drugs for our health. We don't want drug-resistant diseases! |

Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
